Muhlenberg College: international tuition 66,930 USD per year, one-year total cost 87,696 USD, acceptance rate 72%. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 85, Duolingo 115.

Getting in. The school admits 72% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 640–710, Math 610–700, ACT 29–33. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. For English, the school asks for IELTS 6.5+, TOEFL iBT 85+ or Duolingo 115+.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 87,696 USD, before any scholarship. 3 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.

Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 16/11. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
